The Wyvern OJQ is a unique rating system which enables groups of people to reach consensus on important topics. The OJQ has been used since 1967 in a wide range of people strategy and other human resources activities.

The Wyvern OJQ® is an objective, flexible and proven process for ranking individuals, products or ideas to make sound judgments about them.

The OJQ reaches consensus on these topics by simulating a "conference" of people, without the expense of gathering the individuals together. Multiple judgments are combined to arrive at a consensus opinion expressed as a sequence of relative rankings along a 100 point scale, giving a

"How can we accurately measure the skills and competencies needed by our employees so that we can achieve our business goals?"

Relative rank

Score for each criterion

Composite score for all criteria

Multiple raters compare (rank) people, products or ideas against each other based on a number of predetermined criteria.

The central problem with most rating systems is that it requires judgments to be made in an absolute sense; they refer to ideals. But, most real world judgments are not made this way and - consciously or not - usually involve a comparison of alternatives. The OJQ makes use of this fact by asking raters to make comparisons rather than absolute judgments. As a result, Wyvern OJQ achieves a higher degree of rater agreement than other procedures that use non-comparative or likert scales.
